Illustration Friday - Climbing


Selwyn was convinced that Nutbrown was the lady for him. But she just needed a little, erm, adjustment. Starting with her hair. "You ought to get your hair cut short", he said. "It would give you style - I can imagine you with a hairstyle a bit like a helmet ..."


"... like this Roman jobbie. Or maybe this doesn't go far enough ..."

Nutbrown's hairstyle was beginning to resemble Selwyn's own. He was getting excited about this. His teeth even began to dance a little ...


Finally Selwyn got so excited that he had to go and have a cold shower. Nutbrown's hare, Birkin, saved the day by climbing on top of her head, demonstrating that a woman's hare truly is her crowning glory.
